Top Wattala Hotel Reviews
Cinnamon Red Colombo
10/10 Excellent
"Breakfast was excellent
But as we entered, the corridor was very smelly"
Hilton Colombo Residence
10/10 Excellent
"Excellent location in the heart of Colombo and a very well-maintained apartment block. The apartment was spacious, comfortable, and came with great amenities.
A real bonus is the on-site dining—both the in-house option and the restaurant were very good. We did have a small issue with an in-house order, but the staff handled it promptly and professionally, and they kindly provided the meal complimentary. Overall, a great stay and I’d happily return."
